Hunt for suspects after two KZN women killed
Police in Hluhluwe, northern KZN are on the hunt for three suspects believed to have killed two women and set their home alight.
A family of three was shot yesterday during the attack on the Manqele homestead in Mthekwini.
Eighty-year-old Sarafina MamMkhize-Manqele and her 40-year-old daughter Mabusi Manqele, who was a teacher, died at the scene.
A 15-year-old boy who was shot in the arm survived.
The house was set alight with the women's bodies inside.
The boy managed to the get out of the house.
The motive for the attack is not known.
KZN Social Development spokesperson Mhlabunzima Memela says the increasing number of violent incidents against women in the area is a concern.
"It is one of the areas that has become a problem because there has been a number of cases of murder of women and their attackers are always not found. We count a number of women that have been murdered in that area.
"The situation is very worrying because the community seems not to be working together with police and to share information so the perpetrators will be arrested."
